Ed. Register-MeaSuled by the pleasure
derived lIom the perusal of the chaste and
beautifully written articles OF Judge Russell,
which have 80 often OF late graced your coll

activities, 10 be thus brought back TO COM
mune with nature, and to share in that rest
fulnesS which only such communings can
give. And, 100, the kind and benevolent
spirit with which he artistically clothes his

appreciation of Il large number Of your read
ers, aS well rs the wish Of many that he NAV
continue to write them. J. W.. f.
